The present invention relates to human resources
employment methods, job-offer methods, human resources
employment systems, and recording media containing human
resources employing processing, and can be widely applied to,
for example, systems that use the Internet to offer job
positions.
-
Conventionally, the Internet-based job-offer services
have been developed by some job-offer service providers.
Specifically, the providers use the Internet to provide, as
job-offer information, job-offer requirements from
enterprises. Also, the providers select applications for
the job offers, and introduce the applicants to the
enterprises. With this type Internet-based job-offer
service, it is possible to find required human resources
more quickly than by using conventional job-offer media such
as magazines.
-
In the above-described Internet job-offer service, it
is difficult to cope flexibly with the circumstances
peculiar to each enterprise and, further, with circumstances
peculiar to each offer job type since the job-offer service
is, in many cases, being developed by specialized job-offer
service providers.
-
In other words, in an actual job-offer case, an
enterprise having positions available may intend to employ
extremely specialized human resources. In such a case,
there is a possibility that the enterprise cannot determine
whether or not a provider-introduced person is appropriate
based only on information from the job-offer service
provider,. Also, there is a possibility that the job-offering
enterprise must employ persons so urgently that
they cannot wait for the service provider to introduce the
persons. The enterprise also might employ persons based on
an extremely specialized pay system and working system.
Furthermore, a person whom the enterprise desires to employ
even changing employment conditions may apply for a position
to be offered.
-
In one method for solving the above-described problems,
it is possible for the enterprise to develop this type of
job-offer service on the Internet by itself. In this case,
the enterprise will be expected to not only employ persons,
but also to effectively utilize a system for performing the
service.
-
Also, it is possible that a job-offering department can
perform job-offer activities by itself, and it is possible
that the job-offering department rapidly cope with
circumstances caused by the activities. However, an
inexperienced person in charge of employment may perform the
job-offer activities, and this makes it difficult to
smoothly utilize the system, resulting in hindrance of rapid
employment operations.
-
Moreover, in the Internet job-offer service, the
enterprise having positions available provides information
to all parts of the world. The job-offering enterprise must
notify applicants of success or failure in the twenty-four-hour
system while maintaining secrecy. Persons who failed
may repeatedly apply for job offers, and repeated
applications may finally hinder smooth operation of the
system.
-
Accordingly, the present invention is made in view of
the foregoing points, and it is an object of the present
invention to provide a human resources employment method and
system and a job-offer method in which effective and smooth
system operations are used to perform rapid job-offer
activities, and a recording medium containing human
resources employing processing.

In a second aspect of the present invention, by
accepting not only applications from persons but also job-seeking
requests from enterprises, and acquiring information
on persons belonging to the enterprises, for example, when a
job-offering enterprise develops job-offer activities on the
Internet by itself, a job-offer system can be effectively
utilized.
-
In a third aspect of the present invention, by setting
job-offer conditions by considering job-seeking human
resources information, for example, when a job-offering
enterprise develops job-offer activities on the Internet by
itself, a system is smoothly operated, whereby rapid job-offer
activities can be performed.
-
In a fourth aspect of the present invention, by issuing
a password and an identification code when each application
is made, and notifying each applicant of an examination
result in response to accessing using the password and the
identification code, or by recording failure results and
comparing each application with the record in order to
determine success or failure, for example, when a job-offering

In the above-described construction, the human
resources employment system 1 can perform integrated
management of job-offer information and employment-seeking
information and can effectively use these types of
information, so that the human resources employment system 1
can be smoothly and be effectively operated by using these
types of information. In others words, since application
information can be fed back to the job-offering department,
and determination on each application for a job offer can be
made, each department can perform job-offer activities by
itself. As a result, right human resources can be rapidly
secured. When each department performs job-offer activities
by itself, fed-back application details can be utilized for
the job-offer activities, and human resources can be secured
flexibly changing job-offer conditions, etc. The period
required up to employment can be shortened compared with a
conventional case. In addition, by managing the job-offer
activities in a management department, a possibility of
releasing confidential information related to research and
development is avoided by limiting specific particularities
of a professional field according to a job offer, and human
resources most suitable for employment can be employed.
-
In the human resources employment system 1, the
management center 2 includes a management server 2A provided,
for example, in a personnel department, and a management
terminal 2B that accesses the management server 2A. The
management center 2 receives internal job-offer information
D1 as job-offer requirements and conditions from the job- offer
terminals 3A and 3B, and creates external job-offer
information D2. The internal job-offer information D1
includes specific job-offer-related conditions that must be
kept confidential. The external job-offer information D2 is
job-offer information obtained by modifying the confidential
conditions into general job-offer conditions.
-
When the applicant terminal 4A or 4B sends a job-seeking
application in response to provision of the external
job-offer information D2, or a person uses the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B to send a job-seeking application by the
person's intention, the management center 2 accepts the
application in the form of application information D3 having
a predetermined format. The management center 2 notifies
the job-offering department of the application in order to
start the examination of the application for employment, and
creates and provides a human resources list D4 based on the
application information D3 to the job- offer terminals 3A and
3B. The human resources list D4 is a list of persons who
desire to be employed, and is created based on the
application information D3 in accordance with predetermined
conditions. Accordingly, the management center 2 enables
the job-seeking information to be viewed by the job-offering
department and other departments, and the internal job-offer
information D1 can be created considering the human
resources list D4. Similarly, the management center 2
receives an enterprise's application for business, and
provides this application to the job- offer terminals 3A and
3B.
-
Fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart-included illustration
of an example of the processing performed in each block
shown in the human resources employment system 1. Each
processing step (described below) is executed by performing
data exchange between the management center 2 and each
terminal, or is executed while displaying the result of
processing performed by the management server 2. However,
for brevity of description, each terminal is mainly
described below.
-
A job-offer form that describes job-offer requirements
and conditions is created and stored in the management
server 2A by the job- offer terminal 3A or 3B. At this time,
in step SP1, in accordance with operation by a person in
charge, the job- offer terminal 3A or 3B displays the human
resources list D4 by accessing the management server 2A. In
step SP2, the job- offer terminal 3A or 3B accepts entry into
a job-offer form from the person in charge by considering
the human resources list D4. In step SP3, job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B accepts permission of the job-offer form
from the head of each department. The job-offer form is a
display screen on the human resources employment system 1,
which corresponds to a job-offer form as a document, or is
corresponding information. The job-offer form indicates
specific job-offer conditions.
-
In step SP4, the management terminal 2B in the
management center 2 accepts the job offer based on the
internal job-offer information D1 by accepting the job-offer
form approved by each department. In step SP5, the
management terminal 2B approves the job-offer form. The
management server 2A uses the internal job-offer information
D1 to create a job-offer-form table T1. Based on the
approval by the management terminal 2B, home-page updating
is performed in accordance with information in the job-offer-form
table T1, and the accessing of the home page by
the applicant terminal 4A transmits the external job-offer
information D2.
-
At this time, when providing a corresponding home page
in response to a request of the applicant terminal 4A, the
external job-offer information D2 is provided to the
applicant terminals 4A and 4B in the form of classified job
types and employment forms, as'indicated by step SP6, and in
step SP7, by transmitting a predetermined application form
in which necessary items are filled, the application
information D3 is accepted. Then, the management center 2
accepts an application for each job offer and an application
that is not for each job offer, which is a so-called
"voluntary application" in which the applicant applies for a
position without considering employment forms and conditions.
-
In the above-described successive steps, an
enterprise's application for business to be entrusted is
accepted by the applicant terminal 4B. In the acceptance,
the registration of human resources relating to the business
is also accepted by submitting a skill sheet, as indicated
by step SP8. This enables the human resources employment
system 1 to perform integrated management of, together with
information on ordinary persons who seek jobs, information
on human resources for use in business about an application
for business to be entrusted, whereby the human resources
employment system 1 can be effectively utilized.
-
The management center 2 creates an applicant table T2
based on the application information D3, which relates to
enterprises and persons, and creates an enterprise table T3
in response to applications from the enterprises.
Determination of success or failure by the management
terminal 2B in step SP9 determines whether an enterprise or
a person has succeeded or failed in examination for
employment. When an application from a person who has
succeeded is directed to a job offer, the management center
2 notifies the corresponding job-offering department of the
success and receives approval for employment. Applications
other than applications from persons who are employed (i.e.,
successful) as described are recorded in the human resources
table T5, and applications from persons who have failed are
recorded in a failure table T4. When being accessed by the
job- offer terminal 3A or 3B, the management center 2
provides the human resources list D4 from the human
resources table T5, and sets information on enterprises that
have succeeded so that it is accessible by the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B.
-
Each of the job-offer-form table T1, the applicant
table T2, etc., is composed of the internal job-offer
information D1, which is processed in the form of a database,
etc. Fig. 3 shows one record of the job-offer-form table T1.
A "job-offer-form number" is assigned to the job-offer-form
table T1, corresponding to each job offer generated by the
job- offer terminal 3A or 3B. The job-offer-form table T1
also includes "information on department in charge of entry"
for specifying a department that (filled in the job-offer
form) offers a job, "information on person in charge of
entry" for specifying a person who filled in the job-offer
form, "higher-rank-person information" for specifying a
person at a rank higher than the person who filled,
"employment information" relating to an employment form, an
employment period, etc., "skill information" relating to
required skills such as qualifications and licenses,
"status" indicated by various flags indicating processing
states such as states having approvals, and information (not
shown) on the date and time of each processing.
-
Fig. 4 shows one record of the applicant table T2. A
"human resources ID" as an identifier is assigned to the
application table T2 so as to correspond to each person who
applies for a job offer, including a person described in a
skill sheet submitted from an enterprise (applicant) to
which business is entrusted. In the applicant table T2,
which corresponds to each applicant, information such as
address, name, date of a birth, and telephone number is
recorded as "personal information", with an "e-mail address".
The applicant table T2 also includes "skill information"
including desired job type, technical field, and obtained
licenses, "past-record information" including academic
background, and "status" indicated by various flags
indicating processing-progress states such as completion of
an interview and determination of success or failure, and
information (not shown) on the date and time of each
processing. When the applicant table T2 belongs to an
enterprise that has succeeded in examination, an
identification code for the enterprise is assigned, whereby
the other types of information are recorded so as to
identify a person for business to be entrusted. In the case
of an application for a job offer, the types of information
are recorded so that the corresponding job-offer form can be
specified.
-
The failure table T4 and the human resources table T5
each have a record arrangement similar to that of the
applicant table T2, except for different status settings.
-
Fig. 5 shows one record of the enterprise table T3. An
"enterprise ID" is assigned as an enterprise identifier to
the enterprise table T3 so as to correspond to each
enterprise that applies for entrustment of business. When
an enterprise passes an examination, the enterprise ID is
set to represent a value having significance. The
enterprise table T3 also includes "enterprise-name
information", "contact-address information", "status"
indicated by various flags indicating processing-progress
states such as success or failure in examination, and
information (not shown) on the date and time of each
processing.
-
In response to an access request from the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B, or the
management terminal 2B, the management server 2A provides a
predetermined menu screen. By executing consecutive
processes corresponding to items of the menu screen, the
management server 2A provides various types of information
from the tables T1 to T5 in accordance with operations by
each of the terminals 2B to 4B, and creates and updates each
of the tables T1 to T5 using the internal job-offer
information D1, the application information D3, etc., which
are input from the terminals 2B to 4B.
1-2. Processing in Terminal
-
Fig. 6 shows a flowchart illustrating processing
performed by each of the terminals 2B to 4B. In accordance
with the operation of a browser, each terminal executes the
processing by tracing a link set in each item of the menu
and accesses the management server 2A so that the display
screen is switched, and notifies the management server 2A of
operation corresponding to each item selected from the menu.
In each step of the processing shown in Fig. 6, the
management server 2A restricts operations performed by some
of the terminals 2B to 4B so that some items of the menu
cannot be selected.
-
When accessing the management server 2A, each terminal
proceeds from step SP11 to step SP12, and displays a
predetermined top menu. On the top menu, the name of the
enterprise operating the human resources employment system
is displayed at the top, as shown in Fig. 7, and the system
name follows. On the bottom, a menu composed of "LOG-IN",
"SYSTEM OUTLINE", "USAGE", and "APPLY" items is displayed.
-
After displaying the top menu, each terminal proceeds
to step SP13, and determines which item is selected on the
menu. Each terminal executes each process by tracing a link
provided for the selected item. Specifically, when the
SYSTEM OUTLINE item is selected, each terminal proceeds to
step SP14, and displays an explanation about a system
outline. When the USAGE item is selected, each terminal
proceeds to step SP15, and displays an explanation about
usage of the human resources employment system 1.
-
When the APPLY item is selected, the applicant terminal
4A or 4B proceeds to step SP16, and executes external
terminal processing. The external terminal processing
corresponds to processing for accessing by the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B in which, by accessing the management
server 2A, the external job-offer information D2 is acquired
and displayed, and the application information D3 is
accepted.
-
When the LOG-IN item is selected, the management server
2A or the job- offer terminal 3A or 3B proceeds to step SP17
for displaying a predetermined input screen, and accepts
input of user's password and ID. The management server 2A
or the job- offer terminal 3A or 3B notifies the management
server 2A of the input password and ID, and executes
authentication processing. When the authentication
processing determines that the user, who is operating the
terminal, is not a person permitted as a job-offer-information
provider to access the human resources
employment system 1, the management server 2A or the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B proceeds back to step SP12.
Conversely, when the user is a person permitted as a job-offer-information
provider for access, and is a personnel
department member, the management server 2A or the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B proceeds to step SP19, and executes
personnel department processing (described later). Also,
when it is determined that the user is a person permitted as
a job-offer-information provider for access but is not a
personnel department member, the user is considered as a
member of a job-offering department that requires job
offering. In this case, the management server 2A or the
job- offer terminal 3A or 3B proceeds to step SP20, and
executes job-offering department processing (described
later).
1-2-1. Job-offering Department Processing
-
Fig. 8 is a plan view showing a job-offering department
menu screen displayed in the job-offering department
processing. The job-offering department processing is
executed by the management server 2A or the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B. The management server 2A or the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B initially displays the job-offering
department menu screen. On the job-offering department menu,
a screen title is displayed at the top, and "FILL IN JOB-OFFER
FORM", "APPROVE JOB-OFFER FORM", and "JOB-OFFER-FORM
STATUS" items follow. Below these, explanations about the
items are displayed. Below the explanations, a menu called
"HUMAN RESOURCES LIST" is displayed with an explanation. At
the bottom, a menu called "ENTERPRISE LIST" is displayed
with an explanation.
-
The FILL IN JOB-OFFER FORM item is provided for opening
a job-offer-form entry screen for creating a job-offer form,
which corresponds to step SP2 in Fig. 2. The APPROVE JOB-OFFER
FORM item is provided for opening an approval screen
for approving a job offer, which corresponds to step SP3 in
Fig. 2. The JOB-OFFER-FORM STATUS item is provided for
confirming a processing state of each job-offer and for
restarting interrupted processing. The HUMAN RESOURCES LIST
item is provided for opening the human resources list
recorded in the human resources table T5, and the ENTERPRISE
LIST item is provided for opening a list of enterprises that
apply for entrustment of business which is recorded in the
human resources table T5.
-
As shown in Fig. 9, on starting the job-offering
department processing, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds
from step SP21 to step SP22, and displays the job-offering
department menu screen (Fig. 8). In step SP23, the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B determines which item of the menu is selected.
When the FILL IN JOB-OFFER FORM item is selected, the
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds from step SP23 to step SP24,
and displays a job-offer-form entry screen.
-
On the job-offer-form entry screen, a screen title is
displayed at the top, and "SUBMIT", "STORE TEMPORARILY", and
"GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" items follow. Below these
items, "EMPLOYMENT FORM" is displayed, and two choices are
displayed: one choice indicates whether determination of
the employment form is completely entrusted to the personnel
department; and the other choice indicates whether the
employment form is designated. When the other choice is
selected, specific employment forms are displayed in a
selectable form. In addition, an information entry section
for a job offering side is displayed, and a specific
condition entry section is displayed below the information
entry section.
-
In the displayed information entry section for the job
offering side, items that respectively specify a person who
filled in the form and an approver, and communications to
the person who filled and the approver can be entered. In
the displayed specific condition entry section, items such
as duty details and an age can be entered. Among the items
in the specific condition entry section in Fig. 10, by
clicking on "EXAMPLE OF ENTRY" item in "JOB-OFFER
SPECIFICATION" item, a template that indicates the example
of entry is displayed, as shown in, for example, Fig. 11.
By entering necessary details in the template and operating
a mouse, entry of regular types of information can be
completed. Accordingly, in the human resources employment
system 1, by performing entry into the job-offer form, job-offer
requirement and conditions can be posted from the job-offering
department to the personnel department. In the
entry into the job-offer form, even an inexperienced person
who fills in the form can easily and securely create a job-offer
form, using the template.
-
In step SP25, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B determines
which item of the menu is selected. When the SUBMIT item is
selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds from step SP25
to step SP26, and displays the submission confirmation
screen shown in Fig. 12. On the submission confirmation
screen, a screen title is displayed at the top, and
"TRANSMIT" and "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" items follow.
Below these items, details entered on the job-offer-form
entry screen are displayed.
-
In step SP27, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B determines
which item of the menu on the submission confirmation is
selected. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item is
selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds back from step
SP27 to step SP24, and switches the displayed screen to the
job-offer-form entry screen as the previous screen so that
correction can be made for deficiency of details, etc. When
the TRANSMIT item is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds from step SP27 to step SP 28, and executes job-offer-form
summating processing. At this time, the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B posts the details entered into the job-offer
form as the internal job-offer information D1 to the
management server 2A, and records this job-offer information
in the job-offer-form table T1. In this case, the
management server 2A sets the status so that it indicates
that the job-offer form is submitted to the approver and
that a department for successive processing is specified.
The management server 2A also sets a job-offer-form number
and records the job-offer information in the job-offer-form
table T1. Accordingly, in the human resources employment
system 1, the subsequent processing is entrusted to the
designated approver and the personnel department as the
subsequent processing department.
-
When completing the job-offer-form submitting
processing, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds to step SP29,
and notifies a person in charge in the personnel department
and the approver of the submission of the job-offer form by
transmitting e-mail. After that, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds back to step SP22. In the human resources
employment system 1, the transmission of e-mail allows the
subsequent processing to be rapidly executed.
-
When the STORE TEMPORARILY item is selected on the job-offer-form
entry screen (Fig. 10), the terminal 2B, 3A, or
3B proceeds from step SP25 to step SP30, and executes
temporary storage of the job-offer form. At this time, the
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B posts the details entered into the
job-offer form as the internal job-offer information D1 to
the management server 2A, with a request for temporary
storage. This records this job-offer information in the
job-offer-form table T1. In this case, the management
server 2A records the job-offer information in the job-offer-form
table T1 after setting a job-offer-form number
and also setting the status so that it indicates that a
person who filled in the job-offer form in the job-offering
department has requested the job-offer form to be
temporarily stored and so that a department for successive
processing is specified. Accordingly, in the human
resources employment system 1, the temporarily stored job-offer
form can be called again for restarting the
consecutive processing, as required.
-
On the job-offering department menu screen (Fig. 8),
when the APPROVE JOB-OFFER FORM item is selected, the
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds from step SP23 (Fig. 9) to
step SP33 in Fig. 13, and displays the approval-awaiting
case list shown in Fig. 14. The approval-awaiting case list
is obtained such that, among pieces of internal job-offer
information D1 recorded in the job-offer-form table T1 which
are based on job-offer forms, those having a status that is
set to indicate that the job-offer form is submitted to the
approver are processed in the form of a list. Each item of
the list includes the job-offer-form number of each job-offer
form and a job-offering department. When one job-offer-form
number is clicked on, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds to step SP34, and displays the job-offer-form
approval screen shown in Fig. 15 by loading internal job-offer
information D1 corresponding to this job-offer-form
number from the job-offer-form table T1.
-
As shown in Fig. 15, on the job-offer-form approval
screen, a screen title is displayed at the top, and
"APPROVE", "RESUBMIT", and "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN"
items follow. In addition, a job-offer-form number, an
employment form entered in the job-offer form, etc., are
displayed. In step SP35, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
determines which item is selected on the job-offer-form
approval screen. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item
is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds back from
step SP35 to step SP33, and switches the display screen to
the approval-awaiting-case list screen.
-
When the APPROVE item is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A,
or 3B proceeds from step SP35 to step SP36, and displays the
job-offer-form approval screen shown in Fig. 16. The job-offer-form
approval screen includes a comment section, and
the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B accepts entry into the comment
section. In step SP37, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
determines which item is selected on the job-offer-form
approval screen. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item
is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 38 proceeds back from
step SP37 to step SP34, and switches the display screen to
the job-offer-form approval screen. When the TRANSMIT item
is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds to step
SP38, and transmits the internal job-offer information D1 to
the management server 2A. This allows the management server
2A to updates, based on the items set on the job-offer-form
approval screen, information on the corresponding job-offer-form
number recorded in the job-offer-form table T1, and
sets the status so that it indicates that the job-offer form
is approved. After completing transmission, the terminal 2B,
3A, or 3B proceeds to step SP39, and posts acceptance of the
job-offer form to a person in charge of acceptance in the
personnel department and the person who filled in the job-offer
form by transmitting e-mail. After that, the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds back to step SP33.
-
When the RESUBMIT item is selected on the job-offer-form
approval screen (Fig. 16), the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds from step SP35 to step SP40, and displays the
resubmission requesting screen shown in Fig. 17. The
resubmission requesting screen is generated by adding to a
comment section to the approval screen (Fig. 15), and
changing its menu and title. The terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
accepts entry into the comment section. In step SP41, the
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B determines which item is selected on
the resubmission requesting screen. When the GO BACK TO
PREVIOUS SCREEN item is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds back from step SP41 to step SP34, and switches the
display screen to the job-offer-form approval screen. When
"TRANSMIT PERSON WHO FILLED IN THE FORM" item is selected on
the resubmission requesting screen, the terminal 2B, 3A, or
3B proceeds to step SP42, and executes return processing.
-
In the return processing, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
updates, based on the items set on the resubmission
requesting screen, information on the corresponding job-offer-form
number which is recorded in the job-offer-form
table T1, and sets the status so that it indicates that the
job-offer form is returned. After completing transmission,
the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds to step SP43, and posts
the return of the job-offer form to the person who filled in
the job-offer form by transmitting e-mail. After that, the
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds back to step SP33.
-
When the JOB-OFFER-FORM STATUS item is selected on the
job-offering-department menu screen (Fig. 8), the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds from step SP23 to step SP46 shown in
Fig. 18, and displays the job-offer-form status (list)
screen shown in Fig. 19. The job-offer-form status screen
is generated by processing job-offer forms recorded in the
job-offer-form table T1 in the form of a list. On the job-offer-form
status screen, a screen title is displayed at the
top, and "ALL", "TEMPORARILY STORED", and "RETURNED" items
follow that are used for selectively displaying the job-offer
forms. Each of the displayed job-offer forms includes
a job-offer-form number, the name of a department that
filled in the form, the name of a person who filled in the
form, a date of acceptance by the personnel department,
information on whether the job-offer form is approved, and a
date of authentication by the personnel department, which
enables the processing state of the job-offer form to be
confirmed.
-
The terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B displays all the job-offer
forms recorded in the job-offer-form table T1 on an initial
screen in the order of their job-offer-form numbers,
excluding cancelled job-offer forms. However, the
TEMPORARILY STORED or RETURNED item is selected, job-offer
forms that are temporarily stored in the job-offer-form
table T1, or job-offer forms that are returned by an
approving department are displayed in the form of a list by
performing, in the management server 2A, filtering based on
the status of each job-offer form.
-
When the job-offer-form number of one of the job-offer
forms is clicked on by the user, in step SP47, the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B detects the status of the clicked job-offer
form. If the detected status indicates that the job-offer
form is temporarily stored, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds from step SP47 to step SP48. In step SP48, the
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B displays the job-offer-form entry
screen described using Fig. 10 and accepts entry into the
job-offer form which has been interrupted, and proceeds to
step SP25 (Fig. 9).
-
When a returned job-offer form whose status indicates
resubmission is selected by the user, the terminal 2B, 3A,
or 3B proceeds from step SP47 to step SP49, and displays the
job-offer-form entry screen for resubmission that is shown
in Fig. 20. On the job-offer-form entry screen for
resubmission, a screen title is displayed at the top, and
"RESUBMIT", "CANCEL JOB OFFER", and "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS
SCREEN" items follow. In addition, a job-offer-form number,
comments entered by the approver on the resubmission
requesting screen, and job-offer details are displayed.
-
The terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B accepts, on the job-offer-form
entry screen for resubmission, entry of job-offer
conditions, etc. In step SP50, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
determines which item is selected by the user. If the
RESUBMIT item is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds from step SP50 to SP51, and executes job-offer-form
resubmission processing. The job-offer-form resubmission
processing is executed by changing, based on information
changed by the user on the job-offer-form entry screen for
resubmission, the details recorded in the job-offer-form
table T1, and changing the status from an indication that
the job-offer form is temporarily stored to an indication
that the job-offer form has been submitted.
-
After completing the job-offer-form resubmission
processing, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds to step SP52,
and posts the resubmission of the job-offer form to the
person in charge in the personnel department and the
approver by transmitting e-mail. After that, terminal 2B,
3A, or 3B proceeds back to the predetermined menu screen.
-
When the CANCEL JOB OFFER item is selected on the job-offer-form
entry screen (Fig. 20), the terminal 2B, 3A, or
3B proceeds from step SP50 to step SP53, and executes job-offer-form
cancellation processing. In step SP53, the
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B displays the cancellation confirming
screen shown in Fig. 21. When "CANCEL" item is selected
again, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B sets the status of the
corresponding job-offer form recorded in the job-offer-form
table T1, thereby canceling the job-offer requirement. The
cancellation confirming screen is generated by changing the
items of the job-offer-form entry screen (Fig. 20) for
resubmission. When "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" item is
selected on the cancellation confirming screen, the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B switches the display screen to the job-offer-form
entry screen (Fig. 20) for resubmission.
-
On the job-offer-form-status screen (Fig. 19), when a
job-offer form other than one that is temporarily stored or
returned is selected, terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds from
step SP47 to step SP54, and executes processing for
referring to the job-offer form. After that, the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds back to the predetermined menu screen.
The processing for referring to the job-offer form is
executed, displaying the contents of the user-selected job-offer
form shown in Fig. 22.
-
On the job offering department menu screen (Fig. 8),
when the HUMAN RESOURCES LIST item is selected, the terminal
2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds from step SP23 (Fig. 9) to step SP56
shown in Fig. 23, and displays the human resources list
shown in Fig. 24. On the human resources list, a screen
title is displayed at the top, and "ALL", "TECHNOLOGY-RELATED",
and "OFFICE-RELATED" items follow. Below these
items, a list of applicants as human resources is displayed.
The list is generated by displaying in the form a list those
who passed interviews by the personnel department among
interview-awaiting persons who have been registered as human
resources. The initial screen displays all those recorded
in the human resources table T5 in the order of their
numbers. However, when either TECHNOLOGY-RELATED or OFFICE-RELATED
item is selected on the human resources list screen,
the list indicates persons in the selected field.
-
When the user clicks on one of human resources number
on the human resources list screen (Fig. 24), terminal 2B,
3A, or 3B displays the skill sheet of the selected person in
step SP57. The skill sheet indicates information such as
skills of the corresponding person. On the skill sheet, its
title is displayed at the top, and "FILL IN JOB-OFFER FORM"
and "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" items follow. The skill
sheet is displayed excluding personal information that
specifies a person, such as an address, a name, and
telephone number. This can protect applicant's privacy.
-
In step SP58, terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B determines which
item is selected on the skill sheet. When the GO BACK TO
PREVIOUS SCREEN item is selected, terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B
proceeds back from step SP58 to SP56. When the FILL IN JOB-OFFER
FORM item is selected, terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds
from step SP58 to step SP59, and displays a job-offer-form
entry screen (shown in Fig. 26) for specifying a person.
-
As shown in Fig. 26, on the job-offer-form entry screen,
a screen title is displayed at the top, and "SUBMIT", "STORE
TEMPORARILY", and "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" items follow.
Below these items, a portion for setting the employment form
is displayed, and the human resources number of the person
selected by the user is displayed. In addition, a job-offer
form is created and displayed that corresponds to details
entered into the skill sheet of the selected person. The
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B uses the job-offer-form entry screen
to accept input of various items. Based on the input items,
the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B specifies the registered person,
and creates a job-offer form corresponding to the specified
person. Fig. 26 shows a case in which the specified person
is one of persons of the enterprises recorded on the
enterprise table. The employment form in this case is
entrustment of business, and the person is employed, for
example, under contract for work at a fixed place.
-
In step SP60, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B determines
which item is selected. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN
item is selected, the terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds back
from step SP60 to step SP57, and displays the skill sheet.
Conversely, when the SUBMIT item is selected by the user,
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds back from step SP60 to step
SP26 (Fig. 9), and records, on the job-offer-form table T1,
the job-offer form created from the human resources list.
After that, terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds to subsequent
approval possessing. This starts activities for employing
the person specified by the job-offer form in the human
resources employment system 1. When the STORE TEMPORARILY
item is selected, terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds from step
SP60 to step SP61, and executes temporary storage processing.
The temporary storage processing is executed such that
internal job-offer information D1 is created based on the
details entered in the job-offer form and is posted to the
management center 2 so that the job-offer form that is being
created is temporarily stored in the job-offer table T1. At
this time, a job-offer-form number is assigned to the job-offer
form, and the status is set to indicate that the job-offer
form is temporarily stored.
-
On the job-offering department menu screen (Fig. 8),
when the ENTERPRISE LIST item is selected, terminal 2B, 3A,
or 3B proceeds from step SP21 (Fig. 9) to step SP63, and
displays the enterprise list. As shown in Fig. 27, the
enterprise list indicates enterprises that are registered in
the enterprise table T3 after passing examination. On the
enterprise list, its title is displayed at the top, and
company names, URLs, and business details follow.
-
When the user clicks on one of the displayed companies,
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B proceeds to step SP64. In step SP64,
terminal 2B, 3A, or 3B accesses the home page of the company
by tracing the corresponding URL, thereby inquiring about
information on the company.
1-2-2. Job-offer-form Processing in Personnel Department
-
Fig. 28 shows a personnel department menu screen
displayed in personnel department processing. The personnel
department processing is executed mainly by the management
terminal 2B or occasionally by the job- offer terminal 3A or
3B. Accordingly, in the following description, the
management terminal 2B is mainly described. When starting
the personnel department processing (Fig. 6), the management
terminal 2B initially displays the personnel department menu
screen (Fig. 28). On the personnel department menu screen,
its title is displayed at the top, and "ACCEPT JOB-OFFER
FORM", "APPROVAL OF JOB-OFFER FORM BY PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT",
"EDIT JOB-OFFER FORM", and "JOB-OFFER FORM STATUS" items
follow. Below these items, explanation messages are
displayed. Subsequently, "HUMAN RESOURCES LIST",
"ENTERPRISE LIST", items are displayed with explanation
messages, and "CREATE JOB-OFFER FORM" and "MANAGER MENU"
items follow.
-
The ACCEPT JOB-OFFER FORM item is used to perform
processing for accepting by the personnel department the
job-offer form created by the job-offering department. The
APPROVAL OF JOB-OFFER FORM BY PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT item is
used to approve, by the personnel department processing, the
job-offer form accepted by the job-offer-form-accepting
processing. The EDIT JOB-OFFER FORM item is used to edit
the approved job-offer form. The HUMAN RESOURCES LIST item,
the ENTERPRISE LIST item, and the CREATE JOB-OFFER FORM item
are used to perform processes identical to the HUMAN
RESOURCES LIST item, the ENTERPRISE LIST item, and the
CREATE JOB-OFFER FORM item in the job-offering department.
The MANAGER MENU item is used to manage the human resources
employment system 1.
-
When starting the personnel department processing, the
management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP71 to step SP 72,
as shown in Fig. 29, and displays the personnel department
menu screen. In step SP73, the management terminal 2B
determines which item is selected. When the ACCEPT JOB-OFFER
FORM item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP74, and displays a list of cases awaiting
acceptance by the personnel department, which is shown in
Fig. 30.
-
Fig. 30 shows the displayed list of cases awaiting
acceptance by the personnel department. On this screen, the
title is displayed at the top, and a list of job-offer forms
approved by the job-offering department or the like is
displayed. The list includes a job-offer-form-number item,
a job-offering department/section item, an item of a person
who filled in the form, a duty details item, and a date-of-approval
item. In the case of a job-offer form created
based on the human resources list, an asterisk is displayed
ahead of the job-offer-form-number since this job-offer form
is expected to have processing priority over the other job-offer
forms, whereby this job-offer form can be
distinguished from the other job-offer forms.
-
When the user clicks on one job-offer-form number on
the list screen, the management terminal 2B proceeds from
step SP74 to step SP75, and displays the corresponding job-offer-form
acceptance screen as shown in Fig. 31. On the
job-offer-form acceptance screen, its title is displayed at
the top, and "ACCEPT" and "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" items
follow. Below these items, sections for entering comments
of an accepting department are displayed which have comments
entered in the middle of the above types of processing.
After the comment sections, the details entered in the job-offer
form are displayed.
-
The management terminal 2B displays the job-offer-form
acceptance screen (Fig. 31) and accepts entry into the
comment sections. In step SP76, the management terminal 2B
determines which item is selected. When the GO BACK TO
PREVIOUS SCREEN item is selected, the display screen is
switched to the screen (Fig. 30) displaying the list of
cases awaiting acceptance by the personnel department. When
the ACCEPT item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP77, and executes personnel-department
acceptance processing. The management terminal 2B sets the
status of the corresponding job-offer form on the job-offer-form
table T1 so that it indicates acceptance, whereby the
personnel-department acceptance processing is executed.
-
The management terminal 2B proceeds to step SP78, and
transmits, to a person in charge in the personnel department,
e-mail that indicates that the job-offer form has been
accepted. After that, the management terminal 2B proceeds
back to step SP74.
-
When the APPROVAL OF JOB-OFFER FORM BY PERSONNEL
DEPARTMENT item is selected on the personnel department menu
screen (Fig. 28), the management terminal 2B proceeds from
step SP73 (Fig. 29) to step SP79 shown in Fig. 32. The
management terminal 2B displays a list of cases awaiting
approval by the personnel department which is shown in Fig.
33. On this list screen, its title is displayed at the top,
and a list of job-offer forms is displayed which have been
accepted by the personnel department and which have statuses
set to indicate that they have been accepted. This list is
generated by adding, for each job-offer form, a date of
acceptance by the personnel department to the list (Fig. 30)
of cases awaiting acceptance by the personnel department.
-
When the user clicks on one of the job-offer-form
numbers on the screen (Fig. 33) displaying the list of cases
awaiting approval by the personnel department, the
management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP79 to step SP80,
and displays the personnel-department-acceptance screen
shown in Fig. 34 which corresponds to the selected job-offer
form. On the personnel-department-acceptance screen, its
title is displayed at the top, and "APPROVE" and "GO BACK TO
PREVIOUS SCREEN" items follow. Below these items, sections
for entering comments by an approving department are
displayed, and comments entered in the middle of the above
types of processing are displayed. Subsequently, the
details entered in the job-offer form are displayed.
-
The management terminal 2B displays the personnel-department-acceptance
screen (Fig. 34) and accepts entry
into the comment sections. In step SP81, the management
terminal 2B determines which item is selected. When the GO
BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item is selected, the display screen
is switched to the screen (Fig. 33) displaying the list of
cases awaiting approval by the personnel department. When
the APPROVE item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP82, and executes personnel-department-approval
processing. The management terminal 2B sets the
status of the corresponding job-offer-form table T1 so that
it indicates that the job-offer form has been approved by
the personnel department.
-
In step SP83, the management terminal 2B transmits e-mail
to a person in charge of the subsequent processing,
namely, job-offer-form editing. After that, the management
terminal 2B proceeds back to step SP79. In the case of the
human resources employing list, as to a job-offer form
created from the human resources list, the above-described
approval processing can inquire about employment by e-mail.
In the case of a person who is registered by an enterprise,
negotiation on employment under contact with the enterprise
is started using e-mail.
-
On the personnel department menu screen (Fig. 28), the
EDIT JOB-OFFER FORM item is selected, the management
terminal 2B proceeds from step SP73 (Fig. 29) to step SP85
shown in Fig. 35. In step SP85, the management terminal 2B
displays the job-offer-form editing list shown in Fig. 36.
On this screen, the screen title is displayed at the top,
and a list of job-offer forms whose statuses have been set
to indicate that they have been approved by the personnel
department is displayed. This list is generated by adding a
processing-state indicating status for each job-offer form
to the list (Fig. 33) of cases awaiting approval by the
personnel department.
-
When the user clicks on one of the job-offer-form
numbers on the job-offer-form editing list screen (Fig. 36),
the management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP85 to step
SP86, and displays the job-offer-form editing screen (shown
in Fig. 37) corresponding to the selected job-offer form.
On the job-offer-form editing screen, the screen title is
displayed at the top, and "SAVE", "COMPLETION", and "GO BACK
TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" items follow. Below these items,
comment entry sections are displayed which have comments
entered in the middle of the above types of processing.
Subsequently, the details entered in the job-offer form are
displayed.
-
The management terminal 2B displays the job-offer-form
editing screen and accepts entry into the comment sections.
In step SP87, the management terminal 2B determines which
item is selected. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item
is selected, the display screen is switched to the
personnel-department-acceptance screen (Fig. 34). When the
SAVE item is selected, the management terminal 2B proceeds
to step SP88, and displays a job-offer-form-status-changing
screen. The job-offer-form-status-changing screen is used
to rewrite each status displayed on the job-offer-form
editing list. The management terminal 2B accepts entry into
a changed status by performing comparison with the present
status. The status enables the management terminal 2B to
grasp an employment process such as recruiting, an interview
being held by the personnel department, or an interview
being held by a job-offering department as a user department.
-
In step SP89, the management terminal 2B determines
which item is selected on the status changing screen. When
a go-back-to-previous-screen item is selected, the
management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP89 to step SP86.
When an updating item is selected, the management terminal
2B proceeds to step SP90, and changes the job-offer-form
table T1 so that it has a corresponding status such as an
interview being held by the personnel department. After
that, the management terminal 2B proceeds back to step SP85.
-
Accordingly, in the human resources employment system 1,
by transferring the details of the job-offer form approved
by the personnel department to the home page to be provided
to the applicant terminals 4A and 4B, the external job-offer
information D2 is provided to the applicant terminals 4A and
4B. In the management terminal 2B, processing is executed
that sequentially changes the status of each job-offer form
after performing confirmation and that updates by the
operator the corresponding detail on the home page at the
same time. In the human resources employment system 1, by
performing the transfer of the details to the home page, as
described above, even if specific technical details are
entered in the job-offer form so that development
circumstances, etc., are externally understandable, such
information is prevented from being accessed by the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B. Accordingly, even if a job-offering
department performs, by an inexperienced person in
charge, employment activities by itself, various
inconveniences are prevented from occurring.
-
On the job-offer-form editing screen (Fig. 37), when
the COMPLETION item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds from step SP87 to step SP91, and displays a
completion status selecting screen. This completion status
selecting screen is a menu screen for registering completion
of employment. In step SP92, the management terminal 2B
determines which item of the menu is selected. When a go-back-to-previous-screen
item is selected, the management
terminal 2B proceeds back from step S92 to step SP86. When
a completion item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP93, and sets the status of the
corresponding job-offer-form table T1 so that it indicates
completion. After that, the management terminal 2B proceeds
back to step SP85.
-
On the personnel department menu screen (Fig. 28), when
the JOB-OFFER-FORM STATUS item is selected, the management
terminal 2B proceeds from step SP73 (Fig. 29) to step SP95
shown in Fig. 38, and executes job-offer-form-status
processing. Similarly to the case in which the JOB OFFER
FORM STATUS item is selected on the job-offering department
menu screen, the job-offer-form-status processing displays,
in the form of a list, job-offer forms that each have
before-completion status, as shown in Fig. 39. By selecting
one of the job-offer-form numbers, the corresponding job-offer
form can be displayed so that successive processing
such as entry into the job-offer form or job-offer-form
approval. In the job-offer-form-status processing, all job-offer
forms for each of which job offering has not been
completed yet are processed, including those belonging to
the job-offering department. This makes it possible to
display more items than those in the case of the job-offering
department for each of the items followed by the
title.
-
On the personnel department menu (Fig. 28), when the
CREATE JOB-OFFER FORM item is selected, the job-offer-form
table T1 proceeds from step SP96, and executes job-offer-form
creating processing which is identical to that in the
case of job-offer-form creating by the job-offering
department. When the HUMAN RESOURCES LIST item is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds to step SP97, and
executes human-resources-list processing which is similar to
that performed when the HUMAN RESOURCES LIST item is
selected on the job-offering department menu screen (Fig. 8).
When the ENTERPRISE LIST item is selected on the personnel
department menu screen, the management terminal 2B proceeds
to step SP98, and executes enterprise-list processing which
is similar to that performed when the ENTERPRISE LIST item
is selected on the job-offering department menu (Fig. 8).
Therefore, in the human resources employment system 1, also
the personnel department processing by the job-offer
terminal 3B can create each job-offer form and can request
job offering.
-
On the personnel department menu screen (Fig. 28), when
the MANAGE MENU item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP99, and executes management processing
that is described later.
1-2-3. External Terminal Processing
-
Fig. 40 is a flowchart showing the above external
terminal processing described using Fig. 6. The external
terminal processing is executed by the applicant terminal 4A
or 4B when it accesses the management server 2A.
-
When the APPLY item is selected on the top menu screen
(Fig. 7), the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step
SP101 to step SP102, and displays the applicant terminal
menu screen shown in Fig. 41. On the applicant terminal
menu screen, the system name is displayed at the top, and
"OUTLINE" and "EXPLANATION OF EMPLOYMENT FORM" items, and
"INFORMATION ON EMPLOYMENT OF PERSON" and "INFORMATION ON
EMPLOYMENT OF ENTERPRISE" items that are included in
employment information are displayed. Below these items,
various contact addresses are displayed.
-
In step SP103, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
determines which item is selected. When the OUTLINE item is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step
SP103 to step SP104, and displays a brief explanation of
sequential operations. When the EXPLANATION OF EMPLOYMENT
FORM is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B displays
an explanation on each employment form.
-
When the INFORMATION ON EMPLOYMENT OF PERSON item or
the INFORMATION ON EMPLOYMENT OF ENTERPRISE" item is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step
SP103 to step SP106 or SP107, and executes person-employment
processing or enterprise-employment processing.
-
Fig. 42 is a flowchart showing enterprise information
processing. When the INFORMATION ON EMPLOYMENT OF
ENTERPRISE item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
proceeds from step SP111 to step SP112, and displays the
menu screen shown in Fig. 43. On the menu screen, its title
is displayed at the top, and an explanation is displayed, as
shown in Fig. 43. Below the explanation, "FLOW UP TO
EMPLOYMENT", "OFFER JOB TYPE", "ENTERPRISE REGISTRATION
PROCEDURE", "FORMS OF CONTRACTS", and "SEND SKILL SHEET"
items are displayed.
-
In step SP113, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
determines which item is selected on the menu screen. When
the FLOW UP TO EMPLOYMENT item is selected, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from'step SP113 to step SP114,
and displays a flowchart illustrating a flow up to
employment. When the OFFER JOB TYPE item is selected, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP113 to step
SP115, and displays offer job types. The display of the
offer job types is generated by accessing a home page to
which each job-offer form recorded in the job-offer-form
table T1 is transferred, as shown in Fig. 44.
-
When the EXPLANATION OF EMPLOYMENT FORM item is
selected on the menu screen (Fig. 41), the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B displays a specific explanation of
employment forms according to each job offer. When the
FORMS OF CONTRACTS item is selected on the menu screen (Fig.
43), the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step
SP113 to step SP116, and displays an explanation of a
contract on entrustment of business. When the ENTERPRISE
REGISTRATION PROCEDURE item is selected on the menu screen
(Fig. 43), the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from
step SP113 to step SP117, and displays the registration form
screen shown in Fig. 45. As shown in Fig. 45, on the
registration form screen, "GO BACK TO TOP" item is displayed
at the top, and the display screen title follows. Below the
title, sections are provided in which necessary information
such as a company name, and a contact address are entered.
At the bottom of the screen, "TRANSMIT" and "CLEAR" items
are displayed.
-
The applicant terminal 4A or 4B uses the above-described
registration form to accept entry of the necessary
information. In step SP118, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
determines which item is selected. When the GO BACK TO TOP
item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds
back from step SP118 to step SP112. When the CLEAR item is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B clears the entered
information. When the TRANSMIT item is selected, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds to step SP119, and
displays the screen shown in Fig. 46 which is used to
confirm registration items.
-
On the screen for confirming registration items, the
screen title is displayed at the top, and details entered in
the registration form are displayed. In addition, a message
that prompts confirmation, and "APPLY FOR REGISTRATION" and
"CANCEL" items are displayed. In step SP120, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B determines which item is selected. When
the CANCEL item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
proceeds back from step SP120 to step SP117. When the APPLY
FOR REGISTRATION item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A
or 4B proceeds from step SP120 to step SP121, and executes
sending processing.
-
In the sending processing, the applicant terminal 4A or
4B transmits the information entered in the registration
form to the management server 2A, whereby the application of
each application is recorded in the enterprise table T3. At
this time, for performing registration, the management
server 2A sets the status of the enterprise table T3 so that
it indicates an unprocessed state. When being notified of
the registration, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B displays a
message indicating completion of the registration procedure
and an explanation of subsequent processing, as shown in Fig.
47.
-
Accordingly, in the human resources employment system 1,
when an enterprise applies for registration, a provisional
ID is assigned, and after the enterprises passes
predetermined examination, a password and ID are assigned to
the enterprise. The assigned password and ID are posted to
an e-mail address recorded in the registration form
corresponding to the enterprise. After that, by using the
posted password and ID, processing such human resources
registration can be executed, as required.
-
On the menu screen (Fig. 43) displaying the information
on employment of enterprise, when the SEND SKILL SHEET item
is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from
step SP113 (Fig. 42) to step SP123 shown in Fig. 48, and
displays the start screen shown in Fig. 49 which is used for
sending a skill sheet. The start screen is used to accept
input of the posted password and ID.
-
On the start screen for sending the skill sheet, the
screen title is displayed at the top, and ID and password
input sections, and "TECHNOLOGY-RELATED" and "OFFICE-RELATED"
item are displayed as shown in Fig. 49. At the
bottom of the screen, an operation explanation is displayed.
-
The applicant terminal 4A or 4B uses the start screen
to accept input of the ID and password. In step SP124, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B determines which item is
selected. In step SP125, by transmitting the input ID and
password to the management server 2A, and accessing the
enterprise table T3 by the management server 2A, it is
determined whether an enterprise that accesses the human
resources employment system 1 is one of enterprises that
have passed examination. When the management server 2A
rejects the accessing, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
proceeds back from step SP126 to step SP112 (Fig. 42) since
that enterprise fails in the examination. Conversely, when
the management server 2A permits the accessing, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds to step SP127 when it
is determined in step SP124 that the TECHNOLOGY-RELATED item
is selected, and displays the entry-into-skill-sheet screen
shown in Fig. 50. When it is determined in step SP124 that
the OFFICE-RELATED item is selected, the applicant terminal
4A or 4B proceeds to step SP128, and displays a screen for
entry into an office-related skill sheet.
-
As shown in Fig. 50, "GO BACK TO TOP" item and "TO
SKILL SHEET FOR OFFICE-RELATED POSITION" item are displayed
at the top, and the screen title follows. Below the title,
a date of submission, a company name, and a section for
entering personal information such as a name, a birth date,
an age, and an address are displayed. Subsequently,
sections for entering qualifications, a technical career,
and notes are displayed. At the bottom of the screen, "SEND
SKILL SHEET" and "CLEAR." items are displayed. In the case
of the skill sheet for the office-related position, an item
for switching the display screen to the technology-related
skill sheet is displayed instead of the item for switching
the display screen to the office-related skill sheet, and
sections for entering a carrier instead of the technical
career, skills, and experience are displayed.
-
The applicant terminal 4A or 4B uses the screen (Fig.
50) to accept entry of the carrier from the user. In the
entry, in response to operations by the user, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B displays, for a qualification entry
section, the subwindow shown in Fig. 51 which indicates a
qualification code list. When qualification codes displayed
on the screen are used, entry of qualifications is accepted.
On the qualification list (Fig. 51), its title is displayed
at the top, and qualification codes and the corresponding
qualification names are displayed in the form of a list.
-
After accepting the entry from the skill sheet screen
(Fig. 50), the applicant terminal 4A or 4B determines which
item is selected in step SP129 after step SP127 or step
SP130 after step Sp128. When the GO BACK TO TOP item is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds back from
step SP129 or SP130 to step SP112 (Fig. 42). When the skill
sheet switching item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A
or 4B proceeds to step SP128 or SP127, and the display
screen is switched. When the CLEAR item is selected, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B clears the entered information.
When the SEND SKILL SHEET item selected, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B proceeds to step SP131, and displays the
skill sheet confirmation screen shown in Fig. 52.
-
As shown in Fig. 52, on the skill sheet confirmation
screen, its title is displayed at the top, and the details
entered in the skill sheet entry screen (Fig. 50) follow
which enable confirmation of the entered details. At the
bottom of the screen, "SEND SKILL SHEET" and "BACK" items
are displayed. In step SP132, the applicant terminal 4A or
4B determines which item is selected. When the BACK item is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds back to
step SP127 or SP128. When the BACK item is selected, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds to step S133, and
executes sending processing.
-
The sending processing is executed such that the
details entered in the skill sheet are transmitted as the
application information D3 to the management server 2A and
are recorded in the applicant table T2. In this case, the
status is set to indicate an unprocessed state.
-
As shown in Fig. 53, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
displays a screen indicating completion of registration of
the skill sheet. This screen notifies the user of
completion of the registration. In step SP136, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B determines which item is
selected on this screen, and proceeds back to step SP127 or
SP128.
-
Fig. 54 is a flowchart showing processing for employing
a person. When the INFORMATION ON EMPLOYMENT OF PERSON item
is selected on the menu screen (Fig. 41), the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP141 to step SP142,
and displays the main menu screen shown in Fig. 55. On the
main menu screen, its title is displayed at the top, and an
explanation follows. In addition, "FLOW UP TO EMPLOYMENT",
"APPLY BASED ON OFFER JOB TYPE", "APPLY BASED ON OFFER
EMPLOYMENT FORM", "APPLY VOLUNTARILY" items are displayed.
-
In step SP143, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
determines which item is selected. When the FLOW UP TO
EMPLOYMENT item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
proceeds to step SP143 to step SP144, and displays a screen
that uses a flowchart to illustrate a flow up to employment.
When the APPLY BASED ON OFFER JOB TYPE item is selected, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP143 to step
SP145, and displays the screen shown in Fig. 56 which
indicates job offers by job types.
-
On the screen (Fig. 56) which indicates job offers by
job types, the screen title is displayed at the top, and
broadly classified job types are displayed with explanations.
At the bottom of the screen, "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN"
item is displayed. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item
is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B switches the
display screen to the previous screen. When each job type
is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B displays a job-detail
screen corresponding to the job type. Fig. 57 shows
a screen displaying the details of software development as a
job type. On this screen, its title is displayed at the top,
and descriptions of detailed offer job types are displayed
with brief duty explanations and employment forms. At the
bottom of the screen, "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" item is
displayed. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B switches the
display screen to the previous screen. When one of the
displayed positions is selected, a further detailed
description screen is displayed as shown in Fig. 58. The
applicant terminal 4A or 4B uses the further detailed
description screen to accept the selected employment form,
as indicated in step SP146 (Fig. 54).
-
When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item is selected on
the further detailed description screen (Fig. 58), the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B switches the display screen to
the previous screen. When the APPLY item is selected, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds to step SP147, and
displays an application form corresponding to the specified
job offer. Accordingly, in this embodiment, by displaying
job offer classified by job types, and narrowing the job
offers from the job types, a job offer that is appropriate
for the desire can be selected.
-
On the main menu screen (Fig. 55), when the APPLY BASED
ON OFFER EMPLOYMENT FORM item is selected, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP143 to step SP148
(Fig. 54), and displays the screen shown in Fig. 59 which
allows application based on an employment form.
-
On this screen (Fig. 59), its title is displayed at the
top, and employment forms relating to application are
displayed with explanations. At the bottom of the screen,
"GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN" item is displayed. When the GO
BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item is selected, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B switches the display screen to the
previous screen. When each of the employment forms is
selected, job types to be offered which have the selected
employment form are displayed, as shown in Fig. 60. When
one of job types is selected on this screen displaying the
job types, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B displays detailed
description screen that is similar to Fig. 57 or 58. This
enables the applicant terminal 4A or 4B to display job
offers that are classified by employment forms, whereby the
desired job-offer form can be selected by narrowing the job
offers using the employment forms.
-
When an item for application is selected by narrowing
the job offers by the employment forms, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B proceeds to step SP147, and displays an
application form applicant terminal the job offer selected
based on the desired employment form. Accordingly, in this
embodiment, by using job type classification and employment
form classification to narrow job offers so that one of the
job offers can be selected, the desired job offer can be
easily selected.
-
On the main menu screen (Fig. 55), the APPLY
VOLUNTARILY item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or
4B proceeds from step SP143 directly to step SP147, and
displays the corresponding application form shown in Fig. 61.
-
As shown in Fig. 61, the form title is displayed at the
top, and a form of application which indicates an
application type is displayed below the title. This form of
application is used to indicate an application form among
application based on a job type, application based on an
employment form, and voluntary application in which a job
type and employment form are not designated. Subsequently,
a section for entering personal information such as a name
and an address, sections for entering qualifications, duty
record, motivation for application, etc., are displayed. At
the bottom of the screen, "CONFIRM" and "GO BACK TO PREVIOUS
SCREEN" items are displayed.
-
The applicant terminal 4A or 4B uses the application
form to accept the entry by the user. In step SP150, the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B determines which item is
selected. When the GO BACK TO PREVIOUS SCREEN item is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds back from
step SP150 to step SP142. When the CONFIRM item is selected,
the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP150 to
step SP151, and displays a confirmation screen that displays
the details entered in the application form, similarly to
the case of the registration of a person in an enterprise.
-
In step SP152, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
determines which item is selected. When the GO BACK TO
PREVIOUS SCREEN item is selected, the applicant terminal 4A
or 4B proceeds back from step SP152 to step SP147. When the
TRANSMIT item is selected on the screen (Fig. 45), the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP152 to step
SP153, and executes sending processing. The sending
processing is executed such that the application information
D3 as information entered in the application form is
transmitted to the management server 2A and is registered in
the applicant table T2 by the management server 2A. In the
time the registration is performed, on the applicant table
T2, a human resources ID is assigned and the status is set
to indicate an unprocessed state. Each application based on
employment form and each application based on job type,
which are directed to job offers, are recorded in the
applicant table T2 so that a link to the corresponding job-offer
table can be traced and so that each voluntary
application can be distinguished. Accordingly, in the human
resources employment system 1, applications for job offers
and voluntary applications are simultaneously managed with
the job offers, whereby simplified and secured management of
the applications and offers can be performed.
-
At this time, the management server 2A performs format
examination, and notifies the applicant terminal 4A or 4B of
rejection of registration about, for example, those
obviously regarded as nuisance applications such as
applications having incomplete details.
-
When being notified of completion of registration by
the management server 2A, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
proceeds to step SP154. In step SP154, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B displays a registration-completion screen,
uses this screen to notify the user of the registration in
the applicant table T2, and notifies the user of a password,
an ID, a URL which are posted by the management server 2A.
Accordingly, in the human resources employment system 1, the
result of each examination, etc., is individually posted by
performing accessing using the posted password, ID, and URL
because the result is related to personal privacy.
-
Fig. 62 is a flowchart showing processing that is
executed by the applicant terminal 4A or 4B when it inquires
about the result of registration of a person's application.
The applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP161 to
step SP162. In step SP162, when the applicant terminal 4A
or 4B establishes a link to the management center 2 by using
a URL acquired in registration performed after running a web
browser, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B accepts input of a
password and ID posted in the registration. In step SP163,
the applicant terminal 4A or 4B determines which item of a
menu is selected on a screen for the input. When an item
for going back is selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
proceeds back to step SP162, and accepts input of the
password and ID again. When an item for transmission is
selected, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B proceeds to step
SP164.
-
In step SP164, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B executes
authentication processing by posting the password and the ID
to the management server 2A, thereby acquiring an
examination result. At this time, when the status of the
applicant table T2 has not yet been set to indicate a
failure or success in document examination, the applicant
terminal 4A or 4B proceeds from step SP165 to step SP166,
and posts the face of an unprocessed state. When the status
of the applicant table T2 is set to indicate a failure as a
result of various examinations, the applicant terminal 4A or
4B proceeds from step SP165 to step SP167, and posts the
fact of a failure state. Conversely, the status is set to
indicate success in document examination as a result of
various examinations, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
proceeds from step SP165 to step SP168, and posts the
success in document examination. In addition, for further
communications, the applicant terminal 4A or 4B posts a
contact e-mail address. Accordingly, in the human resources
employment system 1, by performing e-mail communications,
screening is repeatedly performed as required, and
employment is finally determined based on an interview by
the personnel department, etc. When a failure is posted
when accessing by the applicant terminal 4A or 4B is
performed, the management server 2A in the human resources
employment system 1 deletes the corresponding record of the
applicant table T2.
1-2-4. Management Processing
-
Fig. 63 is a flowchart of the management processing.
When the MANAGER MENU item is selected on the displayed
personnel department menu (Fig. 28), the management terminal
2B executes the management processing in step SP99 (Fig. 38).
Specifically, in accordance with the selection of the
MANAGER MENU item, the management terminal 2B proceeds from
step SP171 to step SP172, and displays the management menu
screen shown in Fig. 64. On the management menu screen, its
title is displayed at the top, and "ACCEPTANCE OF
APPLICATION FROM ENTERPRISE", "EXAMINATION OF ENTERPRISE",
"ACCEPTANCE OF APPLICATION FROM APPLICANT", "EXAMINATION
BASED ON DOCUMENT", "INTERVIEW AWAITING", "HUMAN RESOURCES
REGISTRATION", and "EDITING HUMAN RESOURCES LIST" items are
displayed. In step SP173, the management terminal 2B
determines which item is selected on the management menu
screen, and executes each of the types of processing in
steps SP174 to SP180 in response to the operation
corresponding to the selected item.
-
Fig. 65 is a flowchart showing enterprise application
processing that is executed when the ACCEPTANCE OF
APPLICATION FROM ENTERPRISE item is selected. The
management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP181 to SP182,
and displays the screen shown in Fig. 66 which indicates a
list of enterprises awaiting acceptance. On the list screen,
its title is displayed at the top. Below the title,
enterprises that have been registered in the enterprise
table T3 by the enterprise registration processing by the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B and that has a status set to
indicate an processed state are displayed in the form of a
list, with provisional enterprise IDs, company names, and
dates of registration.
-
When one of the enterprise IDs is selected by the user,
in step SP183, the management terminal 2B uses an enterprise
ID link to display the screen shown in Fig. 64 which
indicates details of the enterprise recorded in the
registration form. On the details-displayed screen, its
title is displayed at the top, and "ACCEPT", "UNACCEPT" and
"GO BACK" items follow. Below these items, the details are
displayed.
-
In step SP184, the management terminal 2B determines
which item is selected. When the GO BACK item is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds back to step SP182.
When the ACCEPT item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP185, and executes enterprise-application
accepting processing. In the human resources employment
system 1, excluding cases in which an application has a
obviously wrong contact address and in which an application
is regarded as a nuisance, enterprise applications are
accepted when being received. In the enterprise-application
accepting processing, the status of the enterprise table T3
is set to indicate that the application is accepted.
-
Conversely, in the cases in which an application has a
obviously wrong contact address and in which an application
is regarded as a nuisance, the UNACCEPT item is selected to
allow the management terminal 2B to proceed from step SP184
to step SP186, and the management terminal 2B executes
enterprise-application unaccepting processing. In this
processing, the management terminal 2B deletes the
corresponding record in the enterprise table T3, and sends a
fixed-format deletion notification to the contact address
entered in the application. After that, the management
terminal 2B terminates the enterprise-application
unaccepting processing.
-
Fig. 68 is a flowchart showing enterprise-application
examination processing on the accepted enterprise. When the
EXAMINATION OF ENTERPRISE item is selected on the menu
screen (Fig. 64), the management terminal 2B proceeds from
step SP191 to step SP192, and displays the enterprise list
screen shown Fig. 69 by accessing the management server 2A.
On the enterprise list screen, its title is displayed at the
top, and "ALL", "EXAMINATION AWAITING", and "PASSED" items
follow. Below these items, company names recorded in the
enterprise table T3 are displayed in the form of a list,
with provisionally assigned enterprise IDs and statuses.
When the All item is selected, the management terminal 2B
displays all the enterprises whose applications have been
accepted by the above enterprise-application accepting
processing. When the EXAMINATION AWAITING item is displayed,
the management terminal 2B displays enterprises whose
applications await examination among all the enterprises
whose applications have been accepted. When the PASSED item
is selected, the management terminal 2B displays enterprises
that have passed the enterprise-application examination
processing.
-
When the user clicks on one of the enterprise IDs, the
management terminal 2B proceeds to step SP193, and detects
the status of the corresponding enterprise application.
When the status indicates an accepted state in which
examination is being awaited, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP194, and displays the screen shown in Fig.
70 which indicates examination of the application from the
enterprise. On this examination screen, its title is
displayed at the top, and "PASS", "FAILURE", "GO BACK" items
follow. Below these items, the details entered in the
application are displayed.
-
In step SP195, the management terminal 2B accepts a
user's operation based on the past record, etc. When the GO
BACK item is selected, the management terminal 2B proceeds
back to SP192. When the PASS item is selected, the
management terminal 2B proceeds to step SP196, and executes
enterprise-passing processing. The enterprise-passing
processing is executed changing the status of the
corresponding enterprise table T3 from the accepted state to
a success-in-examination state.
-
At this time, the management terminal 2B receives, from
the management server 2A, a normal ID and password assigned
to the enterprise, and displays the confirmation screen
shown in Fig. 71. By performing an issuance operation using
the confirmation screen, the management terminal 2B changes
the status. The management terminal 2B proceeds to step
SP197, and transmits e-mail that represents success in the
examination to the contact address entered in the
application. After that, the management terminal 2B
proceeds back to step SP192. Accordingly, in the human
resources employment system 1, an enterprise as an applicant
can be used by a job-offering department.
-
On the examination screen (Fig. 70), when the FAILURE
item is selected, the management terminal 2B proceeds from
step SP195 to step SP198, and executes enterprise-application
failure processing. The enterprise-application
failure processing is executed changing the status of the
corresponding enterprise table T3 from the accepted state to
a failure.
-
When the enterprise selected by the user has a status
representing success in the examination, the management
terminal 2B proceeds from step SP193 to step SP199, and
displays a comment-entry screen that indicates enterprise
details and that is similar to the screen described using
Fig. 70. The enterprise table T3 accepts entry of comments
on the comment-entry screen. The entered comments are
sentences, etc., which illustrate an enterprise outline or
the like for the job-offering department.
-
After accepting the entry of comments, the management
terminal 2B proceeds to step SP200 when an item for saving
is selected on the screen, and executes enterprise-information
storage processing so that comments entered in
the corresponding enterprise table T3 are additionally
recorded.
-
Accordingly, in the human resources employment system 1,
a normal ID and password are posted after performing the
enterprise-application examination, whereby the registration
of the above-described skill sheet by the applicant terminal
4A or 4B can be performed. In the human resources
employment system 1, enterprises that are registered on a
so-called "blacklist" can be excluded. In addition, after
posting a normal ID and password, by enabling the skill
sheet to be registered, integrated management of applicants
as persons and applicants relating to entrustment of
business can be performed, whereby, when an applicant
enterprise fails in examination, the need for excluding
applicants that relate to entrustment of business to the
enterprise is eliminated. This makes it possible to
smoothly operate the human resources employment system 1
while avoiding complicated processing. Moreover, it is
possible to prevent a human resources introducing enterprise
from registering skill sheets.
-
In addition, after posting a normal ID and password, by
enabling the skill sheet to be registered, human resources
information relating to entrustment of business is recorded
by using a link to the ID. This enables easy distinction
from the other applicants.
-
Fig. 72 is a flowchart showing primary examination
processing that is executed by the management server 2A when
an applicant as a person applies. In the human resources
employment system 1, after a person's application that has
passed the examination using the above-described format is
examined in the primary examination processing, the
application is further examined based on its document, and
the person is registered in the human resources table T5
after an interview with the person is held by the personnel
department, as required.
-
The management server 2A periodically repeats the
primary examination processing in a time zone such as night,
in which the management server 2A is accessed a relatively
small number of times. Specifically, the management server
2A proceeds from step SP201 to step SP202. In step SP202,
the management server 2A loads applications that each have a
status set to represent an unprocessed state, compares
details entered in the applications with the failure table
T4, and detects repeated applications sent from applicants
having failed before a predetermined period elapses.
Similarly, by performing determination on applicants using a
predetermined determination standard table, applicants such
as those who fail to satisfy an English determination
standard are detected.
-
As for each applicant detected as described above, the
management server 2A proceeds from step SP202 to step SP203,
and executes primary failure processing, whereby the status
of the corresponding applicant table T2 is set to indicate a
failure and the record corresponding to the applicant table
T2 is recorded on the failure table T4. The applicant table
T2 that has the status set to indicate failure is deleted by
a notification to accessing by the applicant. The failure
table T4 is deleted when a predetermined period elapses
after the record corresponding to the applicant table T2 is
recorded. These enable smooth long-term operation of the
human resources employment system 1.
-
When no reason for failure is detected, the management
server 2A proceeds from step SP202 to step SP204, and
executes primary screen processing in which the status of
the corresponding applicant table T2 is set to indicate that
the application has passed the primary screening. This
completes the processing for the applicant.
-
In the applicant-accepting processing shown in Fig. 73,
the management terminal 2B further selects the applications
that have passed the above mechanical primary screening.
Specifically, on the management menu screen (Fig. 64), when
the ACCEPTANCE OF APPLICATION FROM APPLICANT item is
selected, the management terminal 2B proceeds from step
SP211 to step SP212, and displays the screen shown in Fig.
74 which indicates a list of applicants awaiting acceptance.
On the applicant list screen (Fig. 74), its title is
displayed at the top, and each applicant table T2 in which
the status is set to indicate that the application has
passed the primary screening is displayed. For each case,
an entry ID as a human resources ID, a name, a company that
introduced the applicant, and a date of registration are
displayed.
-
On the applicant list screen (Fig. 74), when one entry
ID is selected, in step SP213, the management terminal 2B
displays the application information screen shown in Fig. 75
by tracing the link of the entry ID. On the application
information screen, its title is displayed at the top, and
"ACCEPT", "REJECT", and "GO BACK" items follow. Below these
items, an application form, and details entered in the
application form are displayed.
-
In step SP214, the management terminal 2B determines
which item is selected. When the GO BACK item is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds back to step Sp212.
When the ACCEPT item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP215, and executes applicant accepting
processing in which the status of the corresponding
applicant table T2 is changed from the primary-screened
state to an accepted state. In a case in which it is
determined that employment of the applicant is impossible
due to, for example, an address that does not exist, the
user selects the REJECT item, allowing the management
terminal 2B to proceed from step SP214 to step SP216, and
executes applicant unemployment processing in which the
status of the corresponding applicant table T2 is changed
from the primary-screened state to failure. A record
corresponding to the applicant table T2 is recorded on the
failure table T4.
-
Fig. 76 is a flowchart showing document examination
processing for examining each accepted application based on
the entered information. On the management menu screen (Fig.
64), when the EXAMINATION BASED ON DOCUMENT item is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP221 to step
SP222, and displays the screen shown in Fig. 77 which
indicates a list of cases awaiting document examination. On
the list screen, its title is displayed at the top, and
applications that have passed the applicant acceptance are
displayed in the form of a list.
-
On the list screen (Fig. 77), one entry ID is selected,
in step SP223, the management terminal 2B displays the
applicant-examination screen shown in Fig. 78 by tracing the
link of the selected entry ID. On-the applicant-examination
screen, its title is displayed at the top, and "PASS",
"REJECT", and "GO BACK" items follow. Below these items, an
employment form, and details entered in the application form
are displayed.
-
In step SP224, the management terminal 2B determines
which item is selected. When the GO BACK item is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds back to step SP222.
When the ACCEPT item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds to step SP225, and executes success-in-document-examination
processing in which the status of the
corresponding applicant table T2 is changed from the
accepted state to a success-in-document-examination state.
In a case in which it is determined that employment is
difficult as a result of the document-based examination, the
user selects the REJECT item, allowing the management
terminal 2B to proceed from step SP224 to step SP226, and
executes failure-in-document-examination processing in which
the status of the corresponding applicant table T2 is
changed from the accepted state to failure. A record
corresponding to the applicant table T2 is recorded n the
failure table T4.
-
Accordingly, in the human resources employment system 1,
when accessing by each applicant who passed the document
examination is performed, an e-mail address for
communication is posted, and in e-mail exchange using the e-mail
address, each applicant is notified of an interview by
the personnel department. In this processing, as to each
application for, for example, a job offer, after holding an
interview by the personnel department with the applicant, as
required, it is determined, by posting the interview result
to a job-offering department, whether the applicant is
employed. As to each voluntary application, it is
determined, in accordance with the user's manual operations,
whether a job offer that corresponds to job-seeking
conditions exists. Similarly to the application for the job
offer, after holding an interview by the personnel
department with the applicant, as required, it is determined,
by posting the interview result to a job-offering department,
whether the applicant is employed. In the human resources
employment system 1, in a period after notifying the job-offering
department until obtaining employment determination,
a status for the corresponding application is set to
indicate the process of determination, and registration to a
human resources list (described later) is temporarily
reserved. When employment is determined after performing
the temporary reservation, the corresponding record is
deleted from the applicant table T2, and is transferred to a
personnel management server. When unemployment is
determined, the status indicating the process of
determination is changed to cancel the temporary reservation.
-
Fig. 79 is a flowchart showing interview-awaiting-case
processing. The management terminal 2B executes the
interview-awaiting-case processing, thereby recording the
interview result on the applicant table T2. Specifically,
on the management menu screen (Fig. 64), when the INTERVIEW
AWAITING item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds from step SP230 to step SP231, and displays a list
of interview-awaiting cases as shown in Fig. 80. On this
interview-awaiting-case-list screen, its title is displayed
at the top, and the entry IDs, names, etc., of the
applications that have passed the document examination are
displayed in the form of a list.
-
When one of the entry IDs is selected on the interview-awaiting-case-list
screen, the management terminal 2B
displays the interview record screen shown in Fig. 81 which
contains details entered in the corresponding application
form. On the interview record screen, its title is
displayed at the top, and "PASS", "REJECT", "DEFER", and "GO
BACK" items follow. Below these items, a comment entry
section is displayed in which interviewer's impressions,
etc., can be recorded. Also, an applying form, and details
entered in the application form are displayed.
-
In step SP232, the management terminal 2B accepts entry
into the interview record section. In step SP233, the
management terminal 2B determines which item is selected.
When the GO BACK item is selected, the management terminal
2B proceeds back to step SP231. When the REJECT item is
selected as a result of interview, the management terminal
2B proceeds to step SP234, and executes failure-in-interview
processing. The failure-in-interview processing is executed
by changing the status of the corresponding applicant table
T2 to failure, and recording the information in the
interview record section.
-
When the PASS item is selected, the management terminal
2B proceeds to step SP235, and executes success-in-interview
processing in which the status of the corresponding
applicant table T2 is changed to success in interview by the
personnel department and in which the information in the
interview record section is recorded. In addition, for a
case in which a conclusion may not be reached in one
interview, the "DEFER" item is selected allowing the
management terminal 2B to proceed to step SP236, and the
management terminal 2B records the information in the
interview record section on the applicant table T2 without
changing the status.
-
Fig. 82 is a flowchart showing registration-to-human-resources-list
processing that is executed when the human
resources table T5 is created based on each application
recorded on the applicant table T2. In the human resources
employment system 1, excluding those who each have a status
set to indicate the process of determination by the
operation of the job-offering department, persons who have
passed the document examination are recorded on the human
resources list (the human resources table T5) by the
registration-to-human-resources-list processing. As a
result, those who passed the interview but are not employed
are also recorded on the human resources list.
-
Specifically, on the management menu screen (Fig. 64),
the HUMAN RESOURCES REGISTRATION item is selected, the
management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP240 to step
SP241, and displays a screen for human resources
registration as shown in Fig. 83. On the screen for human
resources registration, its title is displayed at the top,
and the entry IDs, names, etc., of the applications that
have passed the document examination are displayed in the
form of a list.
-
On the screen for human resources registration, when
one of the entry IDs is selected, in step SP242, the
management terminal 2B displays the human-resources-registration
screen shown in Fig. 84 which contains the
details entered in the corresponding application form. On
the human-resources-registration screen, its title is
displayed at the top, and "REGISTER" and "GO BACK" items
follow. Below these items, comment entry sections are
displayed which are used to record personnel-department's
comments to the person in charge of operating the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B. Also, an interview record section is
displayed with an applying form. For an application for a
job offer, a job type and an employment form which relate to
the application are displayed. After that, the details
entered in the application form are displayed.
-
In step SP243, the management terminal 2B determines
which item is selected. When the GO BACK item is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds back to step SP241.
When the REGISTRATION item is selected, the management
terminal 2B records the contents of the applicant table T2
on the human resources table T5. Accordingly, in the human
resources employment system 1, human resources that applied
but are not employed and also human resources that have
voluntarily applied can be actively employed by each job-offering
department.
-
Accordingly, since, in the human resources employment
system 1, job-offer forms are issued to the human resources
registered as described above, the personnel department uses
e-mail to communicate with each corresponding applicant, and
an interview by the personnel department and an interview by
the job-offering department are held for the applicant, as
required. After that, determination on whether the
applicant is employed is performed. Fig. 85 is a flowchart
showing human-resources-list-editing processing in which a
human resources list is processed for employment.
-
On the management menu screen (Fig. 64), when the
EDITING HUMAN RESOURCES LIST item is selected, the
management terminal 2B proceeds from step SP250 to step
SP251, and displays the human-resources-list editing screen
shown in Fig. 86. on the human-resources-list editing
screen, its title is displayed at the top, and "ALL", "CASES
PASSING DOCUMENT EXAMINATION", and "CASES PASSING INTERVIEW
TEST" items follow. Below these items, the entry IDs, names,
etc., of the applications that have passed the document
examination are displayed in the form of a list.
-
In response to selection of each displayed item, the
management terminal 2B switches the presently displayed
applications to the corresponding type of applications.
When one of the entry IDs is selected, in step SP252, the
management terminal 2B displays the list editing screen
shown in Fig. 87 which includes details entered in the
corresponding application form. On the list editing screen,
its title is displayed at the top, and "INTERVIEW",
"COMPLETION", and "GO BACK" items are displayed. Below
these items, a comment entry section is displayed in which
the personnel department records predetermined comments.
Similarly to the interview record screen, the applicant
information is displayed.
-
In step SP253, the management terminal 2B determines
which item is selected. When the COMPLETION item is
selected, the management terminal 2B proceeds to step SP254,
and displays the completion screen shown in Fig. 88. On the
completion screen, its title is displayed at the top, and
"EMPLOYMENT COMPLETED", "UNEMPLOY", and "APPLICANT DECLINED"
items follow. Below these items, "COMPLETE" and "GO BACK"
items and the applicant information that is identical to
that on the list editing screen are displayed.
-
The management terminal 2B uses the list editing screen
to accept item settings, and determines, in step SP253,
which item is selected. When the GO BACK item is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds back to step SP251.
When the COMPLETE item is selected, the management terminal
2B records the item-used operation on the corresponding
human resources table, and sets the status so that it
indicates completion, whereby in the successive processing
the person is prevented from being viewed on the human
resources list by the job-offering department. The COMPLETE
item is applied to each applicant who is determined to be
employed by job-offer-form submission based on the human
resources list. The UNEMPLOY item is applied to each person
who is determined not to be employed as a result of
interview after job-offer-form submission based on the human
resources list. The APPLICANT DECLINED item is applied to
each person who has already declined after being informed of
employment.
-
On the list editing screen (Fig. 87), when the
INTERVIEW item is selected, the management terminal 2B
proceeds from step SP253 to SP254, and displays a
confirmation screen for status changing. On this
confirmation screen, when an item for going back is selected,
the management terminal 2B proceeds back to step SP252.
When an item for interview is selected, the management
terminal 2B proceeds to step SP255, and changes the status
of the corresponding human resources table. Accordingly, in
a case in which a job-offer form is issued by performing
registration to the human resources list and the management
terminal 2B proceeds to interview, the status is set to
indicate the process of interview. For each applicant who
should be continuously registered on the human resources
list although interview has determined unemployment, the
status that indicates the process of interview is returned
to the original.
2. Operation of Embodiment
-
In the above-described construction, in the human
resources employment system 1 (Fig. 1), a job-offer
requirement and job-offer conditions are recorded as each
job-offer form in the management server 2A of the management
center 2 by the job-offer terminal 3A or 3b provided in each
job-offering department, and the job-offer requirement and
job-offer conditions are provided via the Internet to the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B that accesses the management
server 2A, as shown in Fig. 2. Each application from the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B is recorded in the management
server 2A, and is posted to prompt the job-offering
department to determine employment.
-
In the above sequential processing, in the human
resources employment system 1, after the job-offer
requirement and job-offer conditions are set (Fig. 9) by
performing, by a person in charge, entry into the job-offer
form, and are approved by an approving department (Fig. 13),
the job-offer requirement and job-offer conditions are
accepted and approved by the personnel department (Figs. 18
and 32), and are subsequently processed so as to be accessed
by the applicant terminal 4A or 4B. In a process from the
creation of each job-offer form to the acceptance and
approval of the job-offer form by the personnel department,
the job-offer form is circulated among persons in charge by
performing exchange of the job-offer form using a local area
network or posting the job-offer form by e-mail. This
enables employment activities that are greatly faster than
that in a document-used processing case. For resubmission
of the job-offer form, etc., such operation is executed
similarly by exchange of the job-offer form using a local
area network or posting the job-offer form by e-mail. This
also enables greatly rapid employment activities.
-
When the job-offer form is approved by the personnel
department, in the human resources employment system 1, the
job-offer conditions are once rewritten and the rewritten
job-offer conditions are provided to the applicant terminal
4A or 4B. This makes it possible to prevent the trend of
research and development from being externally grasped, even
if an inexperienced person in charge fills in the job-offer
form. Therefore, each person in charge can set job-offer
conditions without considering confidential information, and
can rapidly create the job-offer form.
-
In the human resources employment system 1, when the
job-offer information is provided to the applicant terminal
4A or 4B after being once rewritten as described, the job-offer
form conditions are classified as requested by the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B when being provided to the
applicant terminal 4A or 4B. This enables a job-seeking
side to easily and securely find out the desired conditions.
Specifically, in the human resources employment system 1,
the job-offer conditions are provided selecting either a
classification of employment forms and a classification of
job types. This can detect the desired job offer in a short
time.
-
After the job-offer information is provided as
described above, in the human resources employment system 1,
each application is accepted by the applicant terminal 4A or
4B and the application information is recorded in the
management server 2A. In the human resources employment
system 1, an ID as a unique identification code, a password,
and a URL are posted to each applicant when the applicant
applies, and the applicant is notified of success or failure
in an examination process by using the ID, the password, and
the URL to access the management server 2A. This enables
the human resources employment system 1 to notify each
applicant of success or failure without paying attention to
each local time even if the human resources employment
system 1 uses the worldwide Internet to offer jobs. This
can smoothly operate the human resources employment system 1.
The management server 2A can notify each applicant of an
examination result by simply recording success, failure, and
a processing state in what is accessed using the ID, the
password, and the URL. This can reduce the processing load
on the human resources employment system 1.
-
When an application for a job offer is accepted as
described above, the human resources employment system 1
performs format checking, and subsequently determines, by
performing comparison with the record of the failure table
T4, that an application, repeatedly sent within a
predetermined period by a person who failed, is rejected.
This automatically excludes applications of this type.
Therefore, even if a large number of applications are sent,
a number of persons in charge can perform processing on the
applications. This enables the human resources employment
system 1 to be smoothly operated.
-
After that, success or failure is determined based on
document examination, and after holding an interview by the
personnel department, introduction to a job-offering
department is performed. In the successive processing, at
the time each application has passed the document
examination, an applicant is notified of an e-mail address
for communication. Accordingly, in cases in which an
interview cannot be easily held, such as the case of an
application from abroad, e-mail is used to exchange various
types of information, and the exchanged information can be
used for material for determining employment or unemployment.
This can reduce an enterprise-processing load when the
enterprise develops job-offer activities by itself on the
Internet.
-
The job-offering department finally determines whether
each person, introduced as described above, should be
employed or not.
-
In the above-described job-offer and job-seeking
processing, the human resources employment system 1 performs
processing on not only each application for a job offer but
also on each so-called "voluntary application", etc.
Specifically, in the human resources employment system 1, in
accordance with selection of items in the applicant terminal
4A or 4B, by filling in a fixed application form for a job
offer, and further issuing an ID, a password, and a URL, a
voluntary application, and an application from an
entrepreneur are accepted. Each application of this type,
accepted as described above, is recorded in the management
server 2A, similarly to an application for a job offer.
After the application is examined similarly to the case of
an application for a job offer, when the examination
indicates that the application corresponds to job-offer
conditions, the application is posted to the job-offering
department, and determination of employment or unemployment
is performed. Conversely, when the examination indicates
that the application does not correspond to the job-offer
conditions, the applicant is registered on the human
resources list D4, with each application that has not
reached determination of employment after passing the
examination.
-
In the human resources employment system 1, the human
resources list D4 is provided to not only a department that
offers a job but also to the job- offer terminal 3A or 3B in
each job-offering department so as to be viewed from the
job- offer terminal 3A or 3B. Therefore, the human resources
employment system 1 can perform integrated management of
job-offer information and job-seeking information, and can
be smoothly and effectively operated by effectively
utilizing the two types of information. In other words,
since application information can be fed back to the job-offering
department, an application for each job offer is
examined allowing each department to independently perform
job-offering activities. As a result, the right person can
be rapidly secured. In the job-offering activities
independently performed by each department, job-offer
conditions, etc., can be flexibly changed based on the fed-back
application details in order to secure the right person,
and a period required up to employment can be shortened than
that in a conventional case.
-
In the above-described provision of the human resources
list D4, the human resources employment system 1 prevents
personal information, such as an address that can specify a
person, and a telephone number, from being provided to the
job- offer terminal 3A or 3B. This can protect privacy of
the person.
-
As for the application, by issuing a URL, a password,
and an ID for posting success or failure, performing
communication by e-mail, and further excluding applications
repeatedly sent from persons who failed, a small number of
persons in charge can smoothly operate the human resources
employment system 1.
-
In a case in which the job-offering department desires
to employ one of persons registered as described above in
the human resources list D4, the human resources employment
system 1 performs, similarly to the case of widely
announcing job offers, processing in which, after the job-offering
department fills in and approves a job-offer form,
and the personnel department approves the job-offer form, e-mail
is used to confirm the intention of the corresponding
applicant. Accordingly, also when the human resources list
D4 is used to achieve employment, the human resources
employment system 1 can perform human resources employment
by performing processing similar to that in employment from
job offering. This enables even a department in charge of
employment to perform smooth processing.
-
When the human resources list D4 is used to create the
corresponding job-offer form, as described above, in the
human resources employment system 1, the corresponding human
resources ID is selectively operated to create a job-offer
form, whereby extremely simplified operations can create a
job-offer form. This enables even an inexperienced job-offering
department to independently set job-offer
requirements and conditions and to perform easy and secure
job-offering activities.
-
In the human resources employment system 1, each
application by an enterprise for entrustment of business is
also accepted by the applicant terminal 4A or 4B.
Specifically, in the human resources employment system 1,
selection of items by the applicant terminal 4A or 4B
provides an enterprise-accepting form, and by filling the
form, registration of the enterprise is accepted storing a
contact address on the Internet. Subsequently, after the
enterprise application is recorded in the management server
2A, and is examined by the personnel department, the result
of the examination is sent to the contact address. When the
result is a success, the enterprise application is normally
registered on the enterprise table T3, information on the
enterprise can be set so as to be accessed by the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B in the job-offering department, similarly
to the case of the human resources list D4. Accordingly, in
the human resources employment system 1, an enterprise can
be selected and entrusted with business by the job-offering
department.
-
In the above-described enterprise registration, the
human resources employment system 1 performs examination.
When the result of the examination is a success, a password
and an ID for accessing are sent. By performing accessing
using the password and the ID, a skill sheet a person for
entrustment of business can be submitted. Accordingly, in
the human resources employment system 1, applications from
not only persons but also from enterprises can be received,
which effectively utilizes the human resources employment
system 1. In the human resources employment system 1, the
skill sheet can be submitted after the application passes
examination, whereby the human resources employment system 1
can be smoothly operated. Specifically, for example,
applications from persons who belong to an enterprise
registered on the blacklist can be securely excluded. Also,
since the skill sheet includes personal information, by
preventing submission of the skill sheet, for example, from
service providers that introduce human resources, easy
inflow of the personal information can be prevented.
-
Accordingly, in the human resources employment system 1,
a skill sheet for use in entrustment of business, which is
submitted as described above, is also registered on a human
resources list. The registered human resources list is used
as a reference material for entrustment of business.
Specifically, when a person registered on the human
resources list D4 is related to an application-by-person,
the person is employed by contract in one of employment
forms such as a non-regular member, a regular member, and an
entrepreneur. Conversely, in the case of a person belonging
to the registered enterprise, the person is employed in an
employment form such as loan from the registered enterprise.
Therefore, in this embodiment, not only application from
persons but also applications from various human resources
can be received.
3. Effects of Embodiment
-
According to the above-described construction, by not
only externally providing job-offer information but also
internally providing job-offer information, for example,
when a job-offering enterprise develops job-offer activities
on the Internet by itself, a job-offer system can be
effectively utilized.
-
By rewriting job-offer conditions in the job-offering
department and externally providing job-offer information,
even an inexperienced person in charge of employment easily
sets job-offer requirements and conditions, and a leakage of
secrets can be prevented.
-
By allowing human resources information on a job-seeking
request to be viewed by a terminal of the job-offering
department, except for personal information on the
job-seeking request, the privacy of each person as an
applicant can be protected.
-
By accepting an application for each job offer and each
voluntary application, a large number of persons can be
registered on a human resources list. This enables rapid
employment of appropriate persons and effective use of the
human resources employment system 1.
-
By using selectable classification methods to classify
job-offer requirements and conditions, and providing the
classified job-offer requirements and conditions, in other
words, by providing classifications according to employment
forms and classifications according to job types, an
applicant side can easily and rapidly select a job offer
having the desired job-offer conditions. This can improve
the convenience of using the human resources employment
system 1.
-
In addition, by accepting not only an application for
each job offer but also job-seeking request from each
enterprise, and acquiring information on a person belonging
to the enterprise, it is possible to receive applications
not only from persons but also from enterprises.
Accordingly, for example, when a job-offering enterprise
develops job-offer activities on the Internet by itself,
integrated management of applications from persons and
applications from enterprises is performed enabling
provision of job offers to various types of persons. This
can effectively utilize the job-offer system.
-
At this time, an identification code is assigned to
each enterprise whose application has passed an examination
of the enterprise's request, and the identification code is
used to acquire job-offer information. This can simplify
management of applicants.
-
By allowing information on human resources information
on each application from a person and information of each
person belonging to an enterprise to be viewed by a terminal
in the job-offering department, also the information, which
relates to the enterprise application, can be effectively
utilized.
-
As for the enterprise application, by allowing the
human resources information to be viewed, except for
personal information included in the human resources
information, the privacy of the person can be effectively
protected.
-
In addition, since job-offer conditions can be set,
considering human resources information on each job-seeking
request, even an inexperienced department can easily perform
job-offer activities, and can perform job-offer activities
in which a human resources type is specified, similarly to
other types of job-offer activities. Therefore, for example,
when a job-offering enterprise develops job-offer activities
on the Internet by itself, a job-offer system is smoothly
operated, whereby rapid job-offer activities can be
performed.
-
By issuing a password and an identification code when
each application is made, and notifying each applicant of an
examination result in response to accessing using the
password and the identification code, a processing load
required for notifying the applicant of success or failure
can be reduced. This can smoothly operate the job-offer
system, for example, when a job-offering enterprise develops
job-offer activities on the Internet by itself.
-
By also recording failure results and comparing each
application with the record in order to determine success or
failure, applications repeatedly sent from applicants who
failed can be excluded. This can reduce a system-operation
load, so that the job-offer system can be smoothly operated.
4. Other Embodiments
-
The above-described embodiment describes a case in
which applications from enterprises are accepted in addition
to applications from persons. However, the present
invention is not limited to the embodiment but can be widely
applied to a case in which the system is operated so that
only applications from persons are accepted.
-
The above-described embodiment describes a case in
which job-offer information is provided in the form of
classifications according to job types and classifications
according to employment forms. However, the present
invention is not limited to the case. For example, the job-offer
information may be provided in the form of
classifications according to places of employment.
-
The above-described embodiment describes a case in
which registration of applications from companies that
introduces human resources is not accepted. However, the
present invention is not limited to the case. That is, in
the present invention, by performing processing that is
different from processing required for an enterprise to
which business is entrusted, such registration may be
accepted.
-
The above-described embodiment describes a case in
which, by providing various screens from the management
server 2A in response to operations in the job- offer
terminal 3A or 3B, job-offer conditions are set
corresponding to human resources by the management server 2A.
However, the present invention is not limited to the case.
Each terminal may set job-offer conditions.
-
The above-described embodiment describes a case in
which a single enterprise develops job-offer activities.
However, the present invention is not limited to the case,
but can be widely applied to services that provide human
resources information to enterprises.
-
Moreover, the above-described embodiment describes a
case in which in-company job-offer requirements are
processed. However, the present invention is not limited to
the case, but can be widely applied to cases in which job-offer
requirements from a limited number of departments of a
company are processed by a department that manages the
limited number of departments or by a department that
manages all the departments of the company, and in which
job-offer requirements, sent not only from a company but
also from each department belonging to a single group of
enterprises such as subsidiary companies and affiliated
companies, are processed. Even in the latter case, a
management department the process the job-offer requirements
accepts the job-offer requirements and job-offer conditions
via an internal network that is only accessible by a
department that sends the job-offer requirements, and
outputs the accepted job-offer requirements and conditions
to an external network that has such access limitation, so
that the corresponding job-offer information is acquired and
provided.
